Testimonials

Chance

"We took our dog to Premier Dog Training after other trainers had told us there was nothing more that could be done. Our dog suffered from fear aggression. He was scared of people and other dogs, so he would lash out at them to protect his self. He is a rescue pit bull. He is a love bug with us, but not strangers. After the 2 week boot camp, he is a different dog. Rick, Jes and all of the staff spent a lot of time socializing our boy, which he didn't have at a young age. Now, he is friendly with strangers. Premier was a god send for our dog. If you have been told by other trainers that there is no hope for your dog, please give Premier a chance to turn your dog around. Others told us to put our dog down, but now, he will be able to live a happy life. Thank you Premier Dog Training"

"My experience with Premier was absolutely amazing. My pup had developed pretty severe dog reactivity over the years. She could not get along with other dogs at all. After researching I found Premier. It was a very fairly priced board and train that came with lifetime follow-up training whenever your dog boards there. To me, that spoke volumes. They were not simply there to collect a check but rather to ensure that your dog receives quality training. Through working with Premier, she has made unbelievable progress. She is tighter with commands and can now interact with other dogs in a happier manner. From greeting to playing, she has grown so much. Upon picking her up, they showed me what she had learned and then taught me what I need to do on my end. They were knowledgeable and thorough, and their passion for what they do was evident.

"Our VERY busy 6 month old Redbone Coonhound puppy just graduated from Premier's Boot Camp. She has been home less than 48 hours and I can already tell she has returned a much more calm, deliberate and self aware dog. The Premier training staff clearly spent HOURS working with her on basic commands. They also helped us resolve her anxiety on car rides and her incessant barking to get our attention at inconvenient times.
Premier enthusiastically welcomed our young children into the process. They now interact with our dog more consistently and they know how to correct her appropriately. We look forward to continuing to work with Premier to fine tune our puppy's commands, door manners and off leash training. We absolutely recommend their training services!!"

"All I can say is wow. I have a 5 year old German Shepherd who was pushy and never listened, and was horrible when anyone came over, and a 4 year old Goldendoodle who was completely untrained. They returned from Premier 5 days ago and are now reliably obedient and just so GOOD. Premier came out to my house today to help transition some of the training that we were still having trouble with (door manners and leash walking), and they showed us exactly what to do....and now we've all got it down. They will keep coming to tweak things as needed until my dogs are perfect....but even now, they are soooo much better than they used to be!!! Thank you Premier!!!! ******UPDATE on 6/8********Premier came out to my house again today to help me tweak some issues with my very head strong German Shepherd. They were here for two hours and taught us easy ways to address the issues. I now know what to do and am confident they will keep getting better and better. They are a million times better than they started, and Premier will keep working with us until they are where we want them to be. Best thing I ever did!"
